SONG OF WAR
The Greeks and the Romans are
fighting,
The Huns stand full-armed to the
north,
The maidens of Rome and of Ath
ens
Are watching their young men
go forth.
The Saxon has fitted his armor,
The Gaul lies in chains to the
south;
And down on the Libyan desert
The jackal has blood on his mouth.
The Tartar and Turk are preparing;
The Dragon coils wrathful and
mailed;
And beaches are washed with grim
wreckage
Wherever a vessel has sailed.
Men die in the cause of their coun
try,
While women bear children and
ills;
And the pain is as new as the
moment,
Though the tale is as old as the
• hills.
—Virginia Brasier.

D. A. R. MEETING FRIDAY
AFTERNOON AT CLUBHOUSE
Orchid iris, snowballs, white nar
cissuses, and spirea made the as
sembly room of the Jackson club
house most attractive on Friday
afternoon when the members of the
V illiam Mclntosh, chapter, DAR,
met for their regular April meeting.
The hostesses were Mrs. A. T. But
trill, Mrs. J. D. Jones, Mrs. T. G.
Willis and Miss Mary Downs. In
the absence of both the regent and
vice-regent, the honorary regent,
Mrs. J. D. Jones, presided. The
meeting was opened with the sing
ing of America, with Mrs. Ada Sams
Miller as piano accompanist, this
being followed by the Preamble to
the Constitution, the American’s
Creed, Salute to the Flag, and the
DAR ritual, in which the chaplain,
Mrs. J. M. Leach took the lead.
Mrs. Miller reported she had a
number of new pictures and clip
pings for the scrap book, and would
present it to the members at the
May meeting. Mrs. Jones had a
letter of thanks from the Kate Dun
can Smith School at Grant, Ala., for
a package of books recently sent.
The chairmen of National Defense
and Correct Use of the Flag also
made good reports. A copy of the
report of the regent, Mrs. John' E.
Lane, sent to the state conference
in Griffin, was read, and drew a
fine hand from the members.
Mrs. Buttrill presented the chap
ter with a picture of William Mc-
Intosh, for whom the chapter was
named, and offered to have it
framed for the DAR corner in the
clubhouse.
The regent thought it would be
a novel idea for the members to
bring Revolutionary relics, with
memoranda concerning them, to the
May meeting. This always creates
interest. The chapter welcomed
Mrs. M. L. Thomas, a former mem
ber who now resides in New York.
A glimpse of the sessions of the
state conference held in Griffin was
told by Mrs. L. M. Spencer. Mrs.
Spencer is a gifted speaker and can
even make dull things like reports
very interesting. Other delegates
to the conference told brief experi
ences as they were called on by Mrs.
Spencer. This constituted the pro
gram for the afternoon.
The hostesses served a sweet
course following the program.
